Guides

Straight answers to the questions people ask when SharePoint or Google Drive is full. Every figure is Microsoft's or Google's own, linked at the foot of each page.

What happens when SharePoint storage is full

One pool for every site and Team. What counts against it, what Microsoft does when you go over, and the three ways out.

What Microsoft's extra file storage really costs

US$0.20 per GB a month, counted in binary. How the pooled quota is worked out, what a year of overage costs, and the cheaper routes.

How to archive a SharePoint library without breaking links

Strictly, you can't keep every link. You can make sure nobody ends up at a dead end. The steps, in order.

Is Microsoft 365 Archive the same thing as an archive?

Cold storage inside your own tenant, at a quarter of the extra storage rate. What it does well and what you give up.

How to free up space in Google Shared Drives

Shared drives draw on the same pool as Drive, Gmail and Photos. What stops at the limit and the order to free space in.

What to do when your tenant is about to go read-only

The order to work in: measure, buy enough room to stop the clock, clear what costs nothing, then move finished work out.

Archive, backup or cold storage: which do you need?

Three different jobs sold as one. What each protects you from, and why most companies need two of them.

How to retire an old file server without losing anything

The machine nobody dares switch off. How to find out what is on it, move it, and prove nothing was lost.

How long do you have to keep business records?

The usual periods in Australia and the UK, what people keep out of habit, and how to hold the rest cheaply.
